Inspiration for the collection started in Eddie Bauer’s vast historical archives where Urbinati researched iconic designs and classic patterns to create tailored pieces that offer unique detailing and a new modern slim fit.

The collection include a modern interpretation of Eddie Bauer’s 1936 Skyliner Jacket and 1953 Kara Koram Down Parka as well as fair isle sweaters, buffalo check flannel shirts, and chino pants with a custom-designed camouflage print using the brand’s iconic goose logo. The Nordic color palette features rich crimsons paired with deep navy and hunter green, accented by neutral grays and oatmeal colors.
